PHP variables

[zvonko]

Hi.

Just one question:
$_XXXX array was introduced in PHP version 4.2. I have that version and I use those variables.
What about older versions? Can I use some sort of define statement or something? An example:

<?php
include "vars.inc";

//my php code...

?>

file vars.inc:

<?php

if version_check('4.2') {
$_xxxx = $HTTP_XXX;
/// etc.
}

function version_check($ver) {

}

these global vars in php 4.1.2 (e.g: $HTTP_POST_VARS) can be used if your ini file ist configured for their use.

but i see a certain function you have defined (version_check()). you can't rely on the use of the supervars and global vars to check for the php version used on a particiluar webserver. Instead you may use phpversion() to determine the version. (if your code is really in use and not just a example for the use of super/ and global variables.)

function "version_check()" uses phpversion() function then it splits values to get major, minor and revision version.

I just need that for compatibility with older releases of PHP eg. 4.05 etc.

And because I have PHP 4.2.2, I cannot try my code at home.
So, would it work? ;o)
